We are interested in all projects that explore the commercial interests embedded in our criminal legal system, particularly those that aim to dissolve the carceral industry and restore economic value in low-income communities plagued by mass incarceration. We welcome projects that employ unconventional approaches. We encourage candidates to propose their own passion projects, but we are also happy to work with strong candidates to develop successful fellowship projects.
